I don't think it's a problem as it is. It would be nice if the away fans were stuck in a corner but it's not a problem. What's the problem?

Could it be that their one secured creditor (Chanrai who has the ground as security) would rather they were liquidated so that he could build on Fratton Park?

We must have out spent any Championship club by now surely?

I don't think it matters, as long as people know what you're saying. It's a message board not a legal document.

I dunno about Getty, don't use them anymore, the football ones appear to be rights managed so you will pay depending on usage. Probably just for editorial though. The club will have plenty or stock pictures taken from pre-season friendlies etc. If anyone on here has some decent shots I would just use them, if you cut the player out and airbrush the FL logo off it would be impossible to get done, not that you would anyway.

WhitmonSaint, if I was you I would contact the club, there will be plenty of pics you could use, it will just be up to the club if they want to help or not. if you are willing to pay then I'm guessing they might give you the contact for their photographer. At the end of the day it's their business you will be promoting so they should help, depends how busy they are tho. Or if you're got decent cash you will find pics on http://www.gettyimages.co.uk

All Skates should be booed, regardless.

More to the point, isn't Azoughy the convicted fraudster? If he is, and is making all the executive decisions surely that's a breech of the PL's fit and proper rules.

It's got to be hard on his wages, is it 1 or 2 million a year he's on? You can put up with a lot a crap if you have 100K stuffed in your account at the end of the month.

Would be great if we got a bye in the cup. Derby occasions are great but **** it, we would be one game from Wembley.

Nail on the head. The fact that they are doing this with the Premier Leagues blessing makes it all the worse.

This thread must win the stupid question of the year award, of course spending makes a difference.

Stupid idea. You will just end up ruining the atmosphere because some of the vocal lot in the Northam will just stay where they are, some will go to the Chapel and some will go to the Kingsland. And they will end up sat next to boring old types with their thermos flasks and blankets who also refuse to move. If you're going to give them a corner just shift them round where they are now to the Northam/Itchen.

I like Marcus's style, just buy all the opposition's loan players. Do pompey have any players on loan we could buy?

The game after we went into admin we sold over 27,000. That's Saints V Charlton in the CHAMPIONSHIP and no freebies handed out. That's 10,000 more than you despite being in a league below. Plus, we know from experience that being in the Prem attracts many neutrals, I wonder what your attendances would be if you took those out of the equation?

Echo: "A fellow journalist at La Nazione, a daily newspaper based in Florence, added: “I don’t know a Nicola Cortese." How on earth is that news of any form whatsoever?!? Random Journo from random town, hasn't heard of random board member of random foreign club. if I was the Echo I would sack whoever ****ed up relations with SFC because without the club's support the Echo becomes even more pointless.

To be fair when Nigel Pearson was romping this league with Leicester it was "my gran could win League 1 given money". We need to win these sort of games to reach the play-offs, it doesn't help having these extra cup games tho.

I hope it's not on TV, our record on the box aint great.

I don't know how the premier League can justify letting them increase the size of their squad when they owe money all over the place. I bet the tax man is chuffed!

I remember reading somewhere that the PL would not lift the embargo unless they "were satisfied that the club's finances were in order". Hinting that even if they scrape enough money together for this months wages and their overdue payments they would still have the embargo. It's only fair, Bournemouth have had the embargo all season despite being able to pay their players and debts.

You would have thought the scientists employed by oil and energy companies with all their financial backing would have found a concrete scientific theory to disprove man made global warming by now wouldn't you? All we have is the odd scientist discredited, a few email hacked. Why? they have no scientific case at all and have no proof of some bizarre worldwide conspiracy.

So you don't actually KNOW anything. LOL

What, it's all made up so they can get funding? I find that pretty hard to believe, the first scientist to actually come up with a concrete theory to disprove man made climate change would not be short of funding. Would also probably win a nobel prize.

Obviously bull****, but if ever a face fits it would be Gaddafi's and Portsmouth.

It is funny how this pompey circus has suddenly come to have a direct effect us. If they fold we are one game away from Wembley in the FA Cup, there can be no arguements now, it would be fantastic for SFC if pompey cease to exist.
